Kayla is 10 months old!

Ten months?! Already?! Kayla is another month older and in two more months she will be ONE! Can't believe it! She is such a delight to our family. We love and cherish her so very much.

Lots of pictures from this month's photo shoot. It went well and there were too many cute ones that I couldn't narrow it down to a couple.

At 10 months old, Kayla weighs 16 pounds, 9 oz. She is petite! She currently wears 6-9 month clothing. She continues to sleep through the night (11-12 hours a night). I'm so happy about that! She eats 3 meals a day with formula in between as well as snacks. She loves her snacks, especially the Gerber Graduates lil' crunchies. She eats a variety of baby foods well. Kayla still only has 2 bottom teeth. At this time it doesn't appear anymore are close to coming out.

On September 19, I found Kayla standing up in her crib after she woke up from her nap! It scared me since she had not done this before and her mattress was still at the highest height. We dropped her mattress right away to the very lowest height. She has been pulling up to stand ever since! She pulls up to stand using everything and anything she can.

Kayla continues to combat crawl though she is getting up on her hands and knees more and more. She started going from crawling to sitting at 9 1/2 months.

Kayla has such a fun, feisty and sweet loving personality. She is very curious and loves to get into anything to explore it. She doesn't seem afraid of things and is so active. She does have temper tantrums when she can't get or have what she wants. She is a character! She is definitely a mommy's girl and smiles so big when she sees me. She loves to be in my arms. Though she might turn into a daddy's girl because he sure can make her laugh and giggle when he plays with her.

Kayla just loves her sisters! She is always so happy to see them when they come home from preschool. Kayla will crawl to them to see what they are doing or to grab a toy from them. Rachel is interacting more with Kayla. She will sometimes pat her and one time I put Kayla in her lap and Rachel gave her a light hug. Haley doesn't usually interact with her much and usually tries to stay out of her way. Kayla is getting tough and usually doesn't cry anymore whenever Rachel or Haley lightly fall on her.

About Us

Thomas and I were married in January 2007 in Houston, Texas. About 8 months later, we were excited to start a family. After a diagnosis of infertility due to PCOS and endometriosis, we were devastated. With the help of infertility treatments we were blessed with twin boys (Brian and Brendan), but unfortunately lost them at 18 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. Unwilling to give up on our dream to have a family, we tried again, but our second try resulted in an ectopic pregnancy. On our third try we were surprisingly expecting sextuplets. On August 4, 2009 at 22 weeks 6 days, we welcomed 4 girls and 2 boys - Haley, Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn, Rachel and Kaitlyn. Our sweet angels Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn and Kaitlyn passed away and returned to our loving Heavenly Father. We have been so blessed to have Haley and Rachel at home with us. They have been home from the NICU since February 2010. They are doing well and growing. They are miracles! We love them and have been so blessed!

We have been so blessed to have added another miracle baby to our family. Kayla was born December 9, 2011. She was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. She is a precious miracle and we are so glad she joined our family.

Our last little miracle, Brandon Thomas joined our family on December 14, 2015. He was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. He was 9 pounds, 7 oz (big boy)! He has spina bifida, but he is doing well. He is such a happy boy!! We love our little boy and are so blessed to have him in our family.
